To be honest, I'm more worried about the next President of the United States effectively telling the CIA to go gently caress themselves than I am about whether some rando on Twitter thinks this should overturn the election.

I don't see that ending well for anyone.

all of this will cease to matter on Jan 21st when he purges the agency and hires loyalists

Never assume that the CIA is competent at anything. (Except at installing brutal dictators and poisoning everyone's relationship with the US.)

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I love that even in a hypothetical CIA-sponsored coup, no one, including the agency his dad used to run, wants Jeb! to be president.

Man, that would be the ultimate gently caress YOU that 2016 could deliver at the end, to all of us who've been saying after Trump's election, "At least he's not Ted Cruz".

Actually it was specifically said gun *policy* chat was allowed, it was chat *about guns* that was banned. I can get behind that.

Gun people get made fun of for being upset about people not knowing the difference between a clip and a magazine, but maybe it is reasonable to ask people to know literally anything about guns before they try to come up with gun regulations.

the best part is when they bury potential elected officials who are studied in economics who are socialists at the same time while doing this because they could actually dismantle the system

the only way out is violence

Yes, but if you understood the mechanisms of massive financial fraud, you would realize that it is in fact cool and good and we should really get tax cuts for committing it.

a lot of effective socialist policies in EU states were constructed by economists, actually

it helps that sociopathy wasn't ingrained as a virtue there

it's not exactly constructive to discredit an entire cottage trade when there's a much more important (but unfortunately less visible) morality aspect

She lost her money in the same exact way Trump did though, it is disingenious but also appropriate beause the original claim was disingenious in the same exact way, implying that any amount of money invested in a risky pursuit is lost if that pursuit doesnt pay off and thus a mistake to have spent

If you raise a billion and spend a billion, that's a lot different from spending a billion more than you have, no?

He reported a loss of a billion dollars mean negative profit. The Clinton campaign actually raised that much, then spent it.

The list of things the campaign did wrong is endless but it's a poo poo headline, especially since the article it's taken from doesn't match.

They don't really have to do that because economics programs don't study Marx or socialism at all. Almost every socialist economist is an autodidact.

I bet, if you follow the money, there is a very good reason why certain guns were left off while others were left on. I think elected officials don't know what they're talking about but they have a whole team of people to do that research for them and, as a whole, they knew exactly what they were doing.
